One small muscle. A big impact on movement.
The calf plays a critical role in how you walk, run, squat, and absorb force, yet it’s often overlooked when pain shows up elsewhere.
When the calf becomes tight or underactive, the body compensates:
• Ankles lose mobility
• Knees take on extra load
• Hips and low back work harder than they should
Dry needling helps reset muscle tone, restore circulation, and improve how force moves through the lower body — so movement becomes more efficient, not forced.
At Ace Sports Clinic Malvern, treatment is never about chasing pain.
It’s about understanding why your body is compensating — and correcting it.
👉 If stiffness, recurring strain, or limited mobility keeps showing up, a proper assessment can make all the difference.
